I have noticed that the ebooks that came with the jetbook lite all look fairly good on the display in the list ie. The have the author on the top line and the second line has as much of the title as can be displayed on the line. This is actually not ideal but I think it's the best the jetbook can do. Anybooks that I have placed on the jetbook lite however do not do this. They simply display as much of the filename as possible on the top line and nothing on the second line. How do I name my files to get this formatting? I have tried author#title but this doesn't seem to work either. Suggestions? Am I missing something simple.

Thanks for the investigation! I had not suspected that the different file extensions would be the cause of that. Hum. Well I hate the way it displays but I'm not sure I wanna convert every book to text. I wonder why it acts that way?

The different extensions mirror the different e-book formats.

Some of these have meta-data or headers that always or sometimes contains the title and author and if the JetBook Lite knows this it shows that information and otherwise shows the filename. Text, .txt of course is very plain hence the # trick of which Arthur_Conan_Doyle#The_Adventure_of_the_Dying_Dete ctive.txt
is an example.

The Jetbooks display the title and author of each book with a file naming convention of author_Name#Title_of_Book.txt for text file in order to list/sort the books by either author or title. The file name is shown in other cases where the JetBook cannot extract the title and author from the file headers.

Thus FB2 e-books have metadata title and author - see the preloaded free books and PDF e-books may have - the two pre-loaded do not but I have a bunch of free e-books from http://www.bookdepository.co.uk/free
For these the data is present but the author is given as the person who generated the PDF and the title is often "Microsoft Word" followed by the ISBN-13 reference.

Some Mobi and ePub e-book may contain metadata title and author, but I have no examples yet.

I see no evidence that the Aluratek Libre uses metadata within the .epub file to sort it's book list; I have however seen .epub books that contain this metadata and the libre has clearly demonstrated that it makes no use of this metadata.

I agree, all of my epubs have the proper metadata for title and author, but as of the latest firmware the jetBook-lite doesn't use it at all.

There are settings in preferences where you can adjust what filename calibre uses to save files and to add to device. I've found that it's easier actually to save files and then copy them rather than send to device mainly because of the slow usb 1.1 transfer time.
